We are delighted to announce that one of Ireland’s leading contemporary dancers Philip Connaughton, will be Dance Artist-in-Residence in axis and in Ballymun from 2012 – 2013. Philip who hails from Poppintree, began his dance training in Ballymun and has gone on to perform all over the world gaining national and international recognition as a dancer and choreographer and in different works by John Scott, Liz Roche, Sara Rudner and John Jasperse to name but a few.

Bealtaine celebrates creativity as we age. This year’s celebration in axis will include a group show of work from artists aged 55+. The work displays the wealth of talent and
invention existing in art groups and individuals over 55 years of age studying various visual art forms in our community.
